assign_recirculation_opening

Icepak.assign_recirculation_opening(face_list, extract_face, thermal_specification='Temperature', assignment_value='0cel', conductance_external_temperature=None, flow_specification='Mass Flow', flow_assignment='0kg_per_s_m2', flow_direction=None, start_time=None, end_time=None, boundary_name=None)

Assign recirculation faces.

Parameters:

face_listlist

List of face primitive objects or a list of integers containing faces IDs.

extract_facemodeler.cad.elements3d.FacePrimitive, int

ID of the face on the extract side.

thermal_specificationstr, optional

Type of the thermal assignment across the two recirculation faces. The default is "Temperature". Options are "Conductance", "Heat Input", and "Temperature".

assignment_valuestr or dict or BoundaryDictionary, optional

String with a value and units of the thermal assignment. Assign a transient condition using the result of a function with the create_*_transient_assignment pattern. The default value is "0cel".

conductance_external_temperaturestr, optional

External temperature value, which is needed if thermal_specification is set to "Conductance". The default is None.

flow_specificationstr, optional

Flow specification for the recirculation zone. The default is "Mass Flow". Options are: "Mass Flow", "Mass Flux", and "Volume Flow".

flow_assignmentstr or dict or BoundaryDictionary, optional

String with the value and units of the flow assignment. Assign a transient condition using the result of a function with the create_*_transient_assignment pattern. The default value is "0kg_per_s_m2".

flow_directionlist, optional

Flow direction enforced at the recirculation zone. The default value is None, in which case the normal direction is used.

start_timestr, optional

Start of the time interval. This parameter is relevant only if the simulation is transient. The default value is "0s".

end_timestr, optional

End of the time interval. This parameter is relevant only if the simulation is transient. The default value is "0s".

boundary_namestr, optional

Name of the recirculation boundary. The default is None, in which case the boundary is automatically generated.

Returns:

pyaedt.modules.Boundary.BoundaryObject

Boundary object when successful or None when failed.
